    Abstract: Highly purified 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin (10-propargyl-10dAM) compositions tested in xenograft models for their efficacy against human tumors are shown to be far superior to methotrexate ("MTX") and are even superior to the newer clinical candidate edatrexate ("EDX"). Moreover, 10-propragyl-10dAM showed a surprising ability to cure tumors such that there was no evidence of tumor growth several weeks after the cessation of therapy. Thus, highly purified compositions containing 10-propargyl-10dAM can be used to treat human tumors, particularly human mammary tumors and human lung cancer.

  • Patent number: 5493024
    Abstract: 3,4,N-triaryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide compounds having an aryl moiety in the 4-position that is an optionally substituted pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, or quinolinyl moiety and aryl moieties in the 3-position and the N-position that are optionally substituted phenyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, or quinolinyl moieties, such as N-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-p yridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide, were prepared and found to possess insecticidal utility. 1,2-Diarylethanone compounds were converted to 1,2-diaryl-2-propen-1-one compounds by treatment with bis(dimethylamino)methane, the 1,2-diaryl-2-propen-1-one compounds were converted to 3,4-diaryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole compounds by treatment with hydrazine, and the 3,4-diaryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole compounds were converted to the insecticidal subject compounds by treatment with an aryl isocyanate.
